15 RGS Apes question

I am looking at putting either 10" or 12" apes on my 15 Road Glide. Looking at KST, Vandikta or PY Monkey Bars.
I would prefer not to mess with wire extensions and/or clutch and brake lines.
Can anybody tell me what they have installed and what was required?
Thanks for your time.

I had 12" KST Mayhem bars on my Road King when I was ran off the road. Was never crazy about the wrist angle and they were kind of wide. Bike is being rebuilt and I picked up a Reaper 13" which is much closer bar end to bar end and I believe will be much more comfortable. When I had my Road Glide I put some cheap 9" apes on it as I wanted something a bit more comfortable but did not want to bother with cables or extensions. Don't think you will be able to go as high as you want without cables/wire extensions but I was wrong once before.

I have 10 inch kst kustom outlaws on my 15 rg no extensions or cables everything fits perfect. I have a thread from a month or so ago with pics..I had the kst mayhems on my 11 sg and they were pretty wide and took some getting used to, these bars are perfect
